ton as follows: "a crew-French distressed
demonstrating shipping boat coming. f"
The captain of the Brixham says that he
could see no boat coming from the shore,
and having perishable cargo (fruit,) and
fearing that by taking sick men on board
he might incur detention at Quarantine

Senator Barbour.

TIE general impression here is that Mr..
Barbour will receive the unanimous vote of
the democratic members, and will, there
FORE be elected to serve in the Senate for
six years, dating from the 4sh of March
1SS9.-Richmond Dispatch.
Hon. John S. Barbour is the "Mascotte'
of the democratic party in Virginia. All the
luck they have had for the last seven or
eight years was when he Was personally
managing the.r ca Dpaigns for them. Were
they to be 90 uugraiefu as to turn him
down again they would not deserve to sue
coed in the future. But we do not think
there is any danger of that. So far as we
have heard any expression of public opinion
it is unanimously in favor of making him
United States Senator 10 SUI led Riddle
berger. II is not probable that he will have
any opposition, AID be certainly ought not
to have. We have many men just as able
and just as worthy Of the position as Mr.
Barbour, but circumstances make it pecu
iiarly appropriate 10 confer the honor npon
him q. this time -RichmOnd Wing
There are dozen public men in Virginia
who would adorn the position of United
States Senator, and represent Virginia with
dignity and ability, hut by common consent
and approval Mr.. Barbour, who has suc.
cessfully conducted several campaigns
aeains; the greatest efforts OF the opposition
aud who so wisely and attentively represen
ted his District in Congress for several
terms, and is familiar with all the needs OF
his State, heads the list and should receive
tho nomination on the first ballot, and
unanimously. -Norlolh Landmark.
The Legislature is of course democratic
in both bodies and we shall have no trouble
in controlling that body. 1t is foregone
conclusion that Mr.. Barbour will be Mr..
Rddleberger's successor. and well does he
deserve the honor.-Portsmout Times
The voting last week having established
the fact that the next Legislature of Virgin
ia will be largely democratic, naturally
enough the question is being debated as to
who shall succeed Riddlebergtr in The U. 6.
Senate-We say debated, but there ought
to be no ground for debate. The Hon. Jno.
s. Barbour is fairly entitled to the honor,
and by every consideration of justice, graft.
tude and common fairness, he ought to have
it.-Loudoun Mirror.
1t is positively announced by the friends
of Hon. john Goode that he will NOT be q
candidate for the United States Senate to
succeed Riddleberger. In fact, we do not
see any indication anywhere of opposition
to Hon. John S. Barbour for that position,
and we have no doubt that he will be nomi.
mated and elected next month almost unan-
imously. - LynchburQ .4dUdnce

TIE STATEMENT made by DR.. MtGlynn
that the forty thousand voters who deserted
the George side show last week did so for a
pecuniary consideration, proves one of two
things either that that statement is gross
SANDER upon the voters to whom DR.. Nc
Glynn refers, equal to the one he made
upon the Sisters of Charity, whose garb,
he said, was their only evidence OF
purity, or else that these particular voters
had better, for any party, be out OF
than in it. Men who will sell their votes
constitute cause of woaknts, rather
than OF strength to any party.

The RESULT of the recent election in this
State must have been even more disastrous
to General Malone than it was generally
supposed to tie. 1t was SO utter and ire.
trievable that it has turned the Generals
head, and made him write wild letter to
the chairman of the national republican
committee, in which he accuses the demo-
Gratis of 'robbing" him of majority of the
Virginia House of Delegates, and bemoans
the absence Of federal supervisors of election,
"to check the foul work Of the democratic
machine" This shows that those whom
the gods have destroyed, as well as those
whom they wish to destroy, they first make
mad.
